TBRI - Empowering Principles

Empowering Principles help children learn important skills like self-regulation. There are two types of Empowering strategies:

Physiological Strategies, which focus on the internal physical needs of the child. These include things like hydration, blood sugar, and sensory needs.

Ecological Strategies, which focus on the child’s external environment and guide children toward learning self-regulation skills. Ecological Strategies include things like transitions, scaffolding (guided support appropriate to a child’s level that facilitates learning), and daily rituals.
